I spent most of my life in a research university setting
where one argued with hard evidence—this study versus
that study, my data versus your data, on so on.

When I recently moved to
Manhattan, I was amazed at how one "won"
arguments. I was equally amazed about how
little so-called smart people knew, especially about
race. But to listen to the smart alecks talk, they
clearly think they have a true grasp on the subject.

Lucky for them that their profound ignorance hardly
embarrasses them or anyone else since intelligence is
not the currency of
New York social life.
Consumption outranks everything.

Those who perceive themselves as debate winners reject
real science to instead offer a bag of verbal tricks and
over the top emotional appeals. If all else fails, they
try to destroy tangible evidence by claiming to
"be offended" by the truth.

Interestingly, a few non-Jews have learned verbal abuse
skills and are proud to have crossed over to the
unenlightened camp where articulation triumphs over
facts and skilled research.

The bottom line is that our side lacks a sufficient
number of loud, obnoxious Jews willing to intimidate
those who deny reality.

A Vietnam Veteran Says Black Crime Is “The Elephant In The Living Room”

I have
been a VDARE.COM reader so long I can`t remember when it
wasn`t a part of my daily Internet read. Thank you for
your articles.

I have
participated in national affairs since my youth, a
military career, college degree, government work, and
elections.

I have
watched while
schools have gone from educating our children to
brainwashing them,
cities from places of pride to crime-ridden ghettos,
and
our country wrapped up in the pursuit of
diversity—meaning whatever happens, it better not be
white.

Although
I hope I am wrong, I fear that the day may come when our
Constitution will be held up as an example of the white
man`s folly.

Another Vietnam Veteran And Former U.S. Embassy Employee in Niger Learned A Lot About Race While In Africa

I lived in
Africa for four years. I hired a
Ghanaian to work in my department at the American
Embassy in
Niger. Custom required me to talk with my oldest
employee about the new hire.

My senior employee asked
me why I hired the Ghanaian. I told him that he spoke
English and was qualified. His response: "But this is
a
French-speaking country." And I replied: "This
is the American Embassy."

I tried to explain to my
senior employee that I had hired one of his African
brothers. But he told me "He is not my brother, he is
Ghanaian!"

A Georgia Reader Shares His Letter To The World Educational Services

I sent the following letter to Shakti Butler (e-mail),
the World Educational Services` producer of the
socialist diversity DVD, "Mirrors of Privilege:
Making Whiteness Visible"

"You are the racist, Shakti Butler, as is
evidenced by your portrayal (for money, of course, and
grants for even more money) of one specific race,
whites. I see you have figured out how to shake down
people by claiming to help blacks but who also in
reality are in on your game and are rewarded
financially.

"I see you list all of your diverse ethnicities
(African, Indian, Jewish) in an attempt to authenticate
your lies. I cannot believe we have hucksters like you
in our midst in this day and age. `You create bias where
there was none` to paraphrase a great quote from M.I.T.
Professor Thomas A. Kochan who Guzzardi cited in his
column.

"And you get paid to do it. Your comeuppance will be
justice personified, and I only hope it happens to you
sooner rather than later.

"Have you looked in
your own"Mirror of privilege" lately? If you
did, you`d see a very ugly reflection."
